A few runner-ups (is that spelled correctly?) from the selections I made for the calendar contest. Some of them are from the traditional Hungarian dances series that I am working on (and will take a few days to complete).

Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 1.8/50

"Runners-up"

Orio, #3 rocks all day long! Excellent freeze-frame!

The one guy is playing an Albert system clarinet, looks like he's using
a Rovner ligature, or European equivalent...

The sharpness shows, even on web shots. Also, the "Zeiss effect" shows on those last two landscape shots....dimensionality is present and top-notch.

The tiers of foliage, starting from the right front and working back into the image, are startling in their ability to show depth in the scene.

It's a delightful backyard, and I want to scale the fence and explore the grassy field beyond. The tones on the house, including the shutters, is beautiful and rich.

This is a halcyon scene that seems to be made for the Zeiss. Richly beautiful, Orio.

I'm not familiar with the Rovner type of ligature; of course it looks different to me with the reed lugs on top instead of the bottom. I played contrabass clarinet for the Grays Harbor Symphony for several years.

There now, Larry, rest assured we won't hold that aqainst you, the
contrabass clarinet, you know. Laughing Not familiar with the Grays Harbor
Symphony, I played for the Dyes Inlet Irregulars (Bottle and Jug Band,
I'm kiddin') but will look for their CDs. What years did you play for them?

I have two Fobes contrabass clarinet mouthpieces that I will sell below
our store's cost, if you know anyone that wants them. Yes, they are still
sealed in their containers. I'm in a wasteland here in northern Alabama
when it comes to wind music. This is bluegrass picker country! Rolling Eyes I
worked on my first alto flute two weeks ago--the first one I've seen in
5 years. In Portland I would see 4-5 per year!

OK, sorry Orio, just a little rant in your thread... Embarassed
